Bengaluru, Oct 14: Game Fit Badminton Academy, formerly known as Level Up Badminton, is proud to announce the appointment of Agus Dwi Santosa, one of the most reputed badminton coaches in the world, as the Head Coach of the academy. This marks a new chapter for Indian badminton, as for the first time, a coach of Coach Agus’s global stature will be training athletes at a private academy in India.
With an impressive career spanning decades, Coach Agus has trained some of the world’s top badminton talent, including former World No.1s Srikanth Kidambi and Son Wan Ho, Olympic medallists PV Sindhu and Hendrawan, BWF World C’ship bronze medallist Sai Praneeth amongst many other high-performing players. His expertise has shaped athletes on the global stage, and his accomplishments include tenures as the National coach for India, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Coach Agus will be leading the Gifted Athlete Program, an initiative designed to nurture the next generation of badminton stars. This program is specifically tailored to players who possess exceptional talent but have not yet been able to gain access to the National training centre. Under Coach Agus’s guidance, these athletes will now have the opportunity to refine their skills and unlock their full potential at the Game Fit Badminton Academy.
“We are thrilled to welcome Coach Agus to the Game Fit family,” said Prashanth Reddy, founder of Game Fit Badminton Academy. “His legacy speaks for itself and having him lead our academy is a tremendous honour. Our athletes will now have the opportunity to learn from one of the greatest minds in the sport and be guided towards achieving their dreams.”
Coach Agus’s arrival is a monumental step for the academy as it continues its mission to help athletes achieve excellence in badminton and develop a pathway to success on the world stage. Agus, eager to embark on this new chapter, said: “I am excited to join Game Fit Academy and help nurture young talent. It is a great opportunity to contribute to their development, especially with the Gifted Athlete Program, and I look forward to creating future champions here.”
